We serve Thaal feasting menus to groups of 12 or more, and we can accommodate smaller groups on request.

The lower priced menus offer very good value, while the higher priced ones include both a wider selection of dishes, and our more expensive dishes.

(In the unlikely event you run out of Naan, Roti, Raita or Kachumber for any of these menus, it will be our pleasure to bring more.)

Regardless of which menu you choose, there should be more than enough food.

Our reservations-wallas will be very pleased to help you choose a menu.

Pickering's Gin and Edinburgh Festival Fringe toast 70 years with ...

Craft gin distiller Pickering's Gin has launched an exclusive bottling with Edinburgh Festival Fringe, marking the 70th anniversary of its original Bombay gin recipe and the birth of the fringe festival concept 70 years ago in Edinburgh.

Following the first ever World Fringe Day celebrations this July, Pickering’s has marked the date their original nine botanical gin recipe was written down at Mount Mary, Bombay.

The 70cl limited edition bottles of Pickering’s Original 1947 are embellished with the 70-year heritage story with distinctive Edinburgh Festival Fringe labelling.

Based at the former kennels of the former Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, now one of Europe’s biggest independent arts centres, Summerhall, Pickering’s Gin co-founder Marcus Pickering said: “Being able to celebrate the 70th anniversary of our original recipe gin with the world’s biggest and most successful arts festival is truly humbling.

Matt Gammell, the distillery’s other founder and head distiller said: “This limited edition bottling is incredibly exciting for us as a distillery and we’re confident that this old recipe will be gratefully received by fans of gin and the Fringe alike.

Review: Toast - Leith | EdinBraw - Edinburgh Food Blog

This was the perfect excuse for one of our Friday night ad-hoc Leith date night extravaganzas (I should think of a better name) – we’ve had a few of these in recent months, they’re always well attended and often result in lazy Saturdays with animated movies and a little more wine.

5pm on a Friday is officially wine o’clock, so as soon as I’d left the office, I phoned Gemma (EdinBloggette) to request her immediate presence in Toast.

It’s a great wee spot with an amazing view of Leith’s Shore, somewhere that holds particular significance to Gemma and me as it was the meeting point for our first few dates.

I was alone at this point (unless you count wine as company, which I do), I’m proud to say I showed great restraint and didn’t tuck into the platter until Gemma’s arrival.

Toast is the perfect place for a glass of wine and it very nearly turned into the perfect place for a couple of bottles.

Joanna Blythman reviews The Kitchin, 78 Commercial Quay, Leith ...

As a queue of unhappy suppliers can testify, several establishments have briefly inhabited a unit in this flashy development before disappearing, some paying their debts, others not.

Radically, they have painted the dining room slate grey and cut off almost all natural light, leaving the partially visible kitchen as the main source of illumination.

The fish was ultra-fresh, all clean-cut marine flavour, respectfully dressed with herbs and lemon, encircled by paper-thin cucumber and a dice of roasted beetroot.

The terrine was lightened up by rugged fingers of sourdough toast spread with intense beef jus and a half-raw, half-marinated salad of fennel, pink radishes and cauliflower.

Apart from the food, the Kitchin's greatest asset is its mâitre d', a Frenchman who displays his nation's aptitude for talking eagerly about food and wine, describing the dishes and wines with relish and without pretension, sounding like a man who routinely consumer-tests what's on offer.

The 50 best breakfast places in the UK | Life and style | The Guardian

From the granola, bircher muesli, honey and on-trend kombucha (for those who like that kind of thing) to the outrageously brilliant cooked offering – which comprises a thick slice of home-cured belly bacon, a pillow of scrambled eggs (most likely laid that morning by the chooks scratching away in the garden), proper sourdough toast (that is, packing a real crunch and smothered in home-churned butter – yes, really) and a homemade hog’s pudding that I still dream about – I can’t think of many better ways to start the day.

Locally baked sourdough and roasted coffee, plump herby sausages and properly cooked bacon, as well as the now-obligatory avocado on toast (£6.25), make the Jericho Cafe well worth the scenic detour along Walton Street.

That’s as true of the classic full English (outdoor-reared Yorkshire pork sausage, free-range egg, thick-cut bacon, hash brown, grilled tomato, beans and sourdough bread) as it is of grander dishes like onglet and duck eggs; pancakes and buttermilk fried chicken; and “trotter beans” – pig’s trotter and apple, smoked bacon and home-braised beans on sourdough.

What to order: Shakshuka baked eggs with Leeds Bread Co-op sourdough and harissa butter (£7.50).

Picky locals make a beeline for this friendly, fastidiously foodist cafe – one of a number of credible independents on Bishopthorpe Road – where high-quality regional ingredients (Staal Smokehouse kippers, Taste Tradition rare-breed ham) are used in breakfasts that include serious bacon baps, waffles (£4.50) and specials such as pancake stacks or eggs benedict jazzed-up with Cumberland sausage.
